Thanks guys. Must be something wrong with my burn, but it did install properly. Not sure why it doesn't work on mine, but no problems. Ext2 works fine. Just wondered, as TeenPup Mini worked fine with ext3 partitions. What type of hard drives were you guys using? And my reference to home partition was due to previously having pclinuxos on the laptop.
Thanks, Rob

John's LegacyOS is number 70 on distrowatch.
Is it a fork?
Is it a spoon?
Is it ideal for you?_________________YinYana AI BuddhismLast edited by Lobster on Wed 28 Mar 2012, 00:27; edited 1 time in total

No.7 on the 7-day hits.
However, if John cannot get the assistance he's requested from the heavy-weights to make it boot properly, that could sink to 700 very soon. You only get one bite of the cherry with neophytes. One no-boot and things could go Pear -shape...

Hello umair,
ffplay should play your flv file. In Rox file manager right mouse click on .flv file, select "Set Run Action" and a box will appear. Open another Rox Window and navigate to /usr/bin and find ffplay. Drag and Drop ffplay in to the box with the message "Drop a suitable application here". Box will close. Now when you click on a .flv file, ffplay should play it.

Hello Sage, I will keep searching for a fix to the Ram issue.

True! , but I'll say this "I've been testing a number of so call popular Linux Distros to see what's happening generally with Linux. I won't mention names, all I'll say is Legacy OS and Puppy are far from being the worst Distros out there. Some of the releases I've tried left me very disappointed. I would be ashamed to release such stuff. All the while Linux users are excepting this stuff? I just don't get it?

Thank You John,
Works like a Charm . Now Can play flv files very smoothly on old P-III

John: you have every reason to be proud of your creation resulting from meticulous dedication and polish well beyond the norm.
It just surprises me that there are contributors to this Forum who probably know the answer to the booting paradox. Not sure why they haven't responded yet? You certainly know who they are! Why not send them a PM?

Hi John, just had time to check out Legacy OS 4 Mini. Fantastic! If you recall, I had problems with sound on TeenPup Mini 2010. None here, works great and is persistent. No problems with wifi, although I would like to have more drivers available. Realtek 8187b still won't work. Sometimes the .pet for Realtek 8187b works, sometimes not. Just added Ttuuxxx's Frostwire pet for Classic Pup. Works great! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to Legacy OS! Congrats, Rob
P.S. Did a full install to Sony Vaio laptop, running an old celeron 2.4ghz processor with 768 megs of ram, and 40 gig hard drive.

Hi im new to the forum, and im been using puppy in my machine a laptop who has the CPU CeleronM, I did a manual hard drive partition and installed Legacy 4 in this machine, but I have some questions regarding RAM, as you can see i have firefox running and my ram spikes to high and never come down to a low level again, if i open more programs more RAM is beign used slowing the machine to the point of crash, CPU temp goes to high 52-55 C, how can i make the ram goes back to a level low without crashing o reboothing or shutting down the machine.
